I learned today that there is an F-86 crash site about an hour from my house!  It's up on Mt. Lemmon here in Tucson at 7000ft elevation about a quarter mile off of Butterfield Trail.  Apparently most of the plane is still there including the landing gear and the entire engine.  I plan on hiking up on Monday to get some pictures of the crash site.  If anyone in town wants to join me I'd love to have a wingman in case I get lost in the woods

That sounds like it would be cool but unless its a weekend I can't get out of work right now.

And I found this cool little file with all the latitude and longitude coordinates of all the crash sites in AZ.  I may have to break out my GPS and go exploring!

Very cool.  A few years back I picked up Trey Brandt's book "Faded Contrails" about several military air crashes in Arizona through the years.  Trey did A LOT of hard work researching and locating many of the crash sites in AZ, and when possible, has taken survivors or family members out to the crash sites.  Very cool stuff. 

Just took a look in the book and there are several other crash sites in that area - a B-17, a B-50 a B-47, and some AT-17 Bobcats.  The bulk of the wrecks are out on the Goldwater Range (obviously), but pretty much every part of the state has a crash site or two.

I see at least four Mustangs on the .pdf file.

Far too many GA airframes though!

That would be interesting, I can only go on a weekend though. I know of a B-24 crash on Humphreys Peak. I have been up to the Peak, but I haven't been to the crash site.

I know of a B-24 crash on Humphreys Peak. I have been up to the Peak, but I haven't been to the crash site.

I know the approximate location of this B-24 site, but the one time I looked for it I only found one small piece (about the size of a toaster).

This a good photo tour of different military crash sites around Arizona I particulary like the F-14 I cant believe how much of the plane still exists (or did at the time these pics were taken)
